Architect Archive

LOL OMG We make so much money? I must be on the wrong server. I lose money nightly. I sell (With the ridiculous critical failures) at cost or below. I pay maintenance on harvesters that barely cover costs and get undercut by the large PA people at every angle. I make so much money I have to do fed-x missions to stay alive...What a joke

The sad reality about the Architect profession is that you can make more credits selling the resources than you canmaking the items. Master? Why bother. How many PA halls are needed on mature servers? You do get to run around with the level tag though. BFD in my opinion but to each his own.

Who gets all the money? not me!

I have factorys, houses, armor, power ups.... doesnt sell.

What i have that sells... ORE! ore is easy credits. using that ore to build something for the other players has not made me very much at all... just a little xp. XP so i can build more stuff that doesnt sell, even under cost to me..

sorry if I'm intruding, friend pointed this thread out to me.

heh there is one class that has no problem making money without exploits.

bounty hunter.

I can do 4 bounty missions an hour at 7k a pop (adding in a 3k destroy in the area makes it 10 even, for 40k an hour)

and even my 'elite' combat bethren can do sometimes better just running destroy missions.

I had a funny conversation with a masterarch about 'accumulated weath', he wasn't happy =D

don't assume we're all nest-hiding exploiters.

I think the point here would be not to ask how you are getting your money, but how many times in your profession have you been using a required skill to make that money and lose 135k resources, or the equivalent 3 cr per unit price of approximately 400k in less than an hour?

You get a mission for 7k, and go complete it, but how many times have you completed a mission only to find that the profit from that mission plus the profit from the last 50 missions is gone? for us it ranges from 1:5 to 1:20 projects... I am around 1:12 for final fails and 1:10 for walls/bricks. Some of us arent that lucky.
